First-time filmmaker Jeffrey M. Togman's documentary examines a complex issue — the apparent intractability of poverty — through the revealingly narrow perspective of one woman's efforts to improve her family's lot through homeownership. Sheree Farmer is poor, African-American and has a lot of children — six, ranging from grade-school age to teenagers — but she's anything but the heedless single mother of popular stereotypes. Sheree got married before she began having children, has a steady job with the Veterans Administration, and doesn't drink, use drugs or party with feckless boyfriends. She's raising her children alone because, she says, her husband of 15 years became a crack addict a few years into their marriage and beat her; she stayed with him as long as she could in hopes of providing a stable home life for her children. Sheree wants desperately to move her family out of Newark, New Jersey, public housing, away from the crime, violence and cycle of teenage pregnancy she's afraid will claim them. And against all odds, the opportunity presents itself: A nonprofit organization called New Community Corporation is developing a block of subsidized houses, real homes worth $245,000 that buyers like Sheree can purchase for $125,000. All she has to do is qualify for a mortgage, a daunting slog through bureaucratic purgatory for people coping with far fewer personal and financial pressures than Sheree. Her lifeline is New Community staffer Mary Rigby-Abernathy, whose job — perhaps a better word is "avocation" — is helping people like Sheree overcome the obstacles, large and small, that stand between them and homeownership. In practical terms, Sheree's priority is clearing her credit history of three debts totaling less than $3,500, including an emotionally charged one to a bail bondsman, a legacy of her troubled marriage. But the larger issue is Sheree's own inability to commit to changing her life so dramatically: Inured to the day-to-day habits of poverty, unable to trust anyone offering help, and suddenly enmeshed in a devastating legal skirmish with her oldest daughter, headstrong 14-year-old Jalishah, Sheree is perpetually overwhelmed and copes by withdrawing. Togman, an associate professor in political science at Seton Hall University, paints a clear-eyed and unsentimental picture of Sheree's efforts, and there are no happy endings for her or for Mary, who's quietly battling breast cancer as she helps Sheree line up paperwork and negotiate with creditors. The film leaves them both where they started: struggling.

I started my Monday in the same fashion as any other day. I woke up, prepared a coffee while attending to the cats and turned on the PC to see the latest feeds on Facebook to begin chuckling at just how many friends spoiled the recent episode of "The Walking Dead" for the world – instead I started to see numerous photos of media allies with Oderus Urungus/Dave Brockie and seeing unhappy face emoticons under them or the words "so sad". Was I reading this correctly? Could it be true? Sadly it would seem to be the case and yes my friends, Mr. David Brockie, founder of the legendary GWAR and its unimitable force of nature front man Oderus Urungus had died. He was 50 years old.
Brockie came up with the idea of GWAR while in his Punk band "Death Piggy" who were a group that used stage props and delivered small plays during their set. He devised these intergalactic barbarians from Antarctica to be a wilder opener for their own set and with this being the case the same members would be in both bands. The name was a lengthier "Gwaaarrrgghhlllgh" (which in itself sounds like a ravenous animals growl) and when the audience started paying the most attention to them, a change was made to have the now titled GWAR become the main band and Death Piggy was sent to that great pen in the sky. This was 1984 and considering that Glam Rock and Power Metal were par for the course there was nothing like this insanity being done.

[I feel a need more exciting titles for my blog posts, they're all a bit… well, the same.]
So I'm 3 sessions into my new program, in the run-up to the Greater London clubs championships. The program is a 4-day one, which I'm doing over 3 days a week, so each "week" of programming actually takes me more than a week. Confused? Me too. But the boys at the gym who didn't take part in the Farm Open have been doing a similar cycle for a while.
I didn't have time to write up my workout last Thursday due to OMG I'm talking at a conference!!! stress, but better late than never:
15th May
- Bench press: 20kg, 2 sets of 5 reps; 30kg, 2 sets of 5
- Narrow-grip press to 3 boards: 40kg x 3; 45kg x 3; 50kg x 1; 45kg x 3; 47.5kg x 3; 50kg x 1; 45kg x 1
(Strange progression there due to my inability to keep my elbows in when narrow benching, and Martin & I having a bit of a barney about it)
- Narrow decline tricep press (i.e. bench tilted backwards; really not pleasant!): 20kg, 2 sets of 7 reps; 30kg x 7; 35kg x 4; 37.5kg, 3 sets of 4 reps; 40kg x 4
- Tricep pushdowns: 10kg x 25; 2 sets of 15kg x 20
- Dumbbell upright rows: 7kg, 3 sets of 8
- Incline dumbbell holds: 10kg x 8; 2 sets of 12.5kg x 8
- Cable crunch: 30kg, 3 sets of 10
Not surprisingly, my arms were like noodles on Thursday night.
19th May
- Concentric rack squats (walk bar out, squat below parallel to rest bar on pins, pause, explode up): 20kg, 2 sets of 5; 40kg x 5; 50kg x 5; 60kg x 3; 70kg x 3; 80kg x 1; 90kg x 1; two failed attempts at 92.5kg
I'm a bit annoyed I didn't get either of the 92.5kg attempts, but on the first one I was damn close (second time I lost all power). 92.5kg is my best competition squat, so it's nice to be approaching that sort of level in ordinary training.
- Bent-over rows (bar): 20kg x 7; 30kg x 7; 35kg, 2 sets of 7
- Gym walks (laps of gym holding dumbbells): 20kg, 4 laps, 2 laps, 1 lap
- Glute & ham raises: 2 sets of 15
- Pullthroughs: 2 sets of 12
- Cable crunches: 30kg, 2 sets of 10
- Shoulder dislocations, stretching etc.
Today I'm so sore. And I managed to bring protein to work but no protein shaker, DOH. One day I might be more organised with my work food, but today is not that day!

Using Sound to STudy batteries
Feasible uses sound to detect the physical properties of batteries. We do this by sending ultrasonic pulses through a battery and recording the echoes. By applying advanced analytics to the data, we can then extract meaning from it.
A major advantage to our approach is that the acoustic behavior is sensitive to changes in the physical properties along the path of the sound waves. Thus, electrical, thermal, and strain-based methods, ultrasonic analysis can directly and actively probe the physical condition of internal battery components.
The Basics
The speed of sound, c, in a material is a strong function of its density, ⍴, and stiffness or bulk modulus, B. The acoustic impedance, Z, of a material (or its willingness to transmit sound) is also strong function of ⍴ and B. Importantly, as a sound wave reaches the interface between two materials, the mismatch in Z between them determines how much of the sound wave gets reflected back (R) or transmitted through (T).
Real-time Analysis during use
In a basic measurement, the echoing behavior is recorded as time elapses after the initial input pulse (time-of-flight). As each reading takes much less than 1 ms and is non-desctructive, acoustic analysis of batteries can be carried out in real-time during use. The video below shows real data from a Li-ion battery as it is charged and discharged. The shifts in echoing behavior is clear, and demonstrates the sensitivity of sound to these subtle physical changes.
We ran similar tests on several types of commercial batteries with widespread adoption, including LCO and LFP pouch cells; alkaline, NiCd and NiMH AAs; and NMC and NCA 18650s. Every cell type showed repeatable and robust correlation between the acoustic behavior and charge state. This shows that our approach can be used to analyze batteries in a way that is mechanistically different from and complementary to standard diagnostic methods.
Many of the highly-publicized issues with battery performance and safety can be traced back to problems with quality control, defect detection, or in-use monitoring. This results from a lack of at-scale diagnostics that give direct information about internal battery structure.
Our technology meets a deep need in battery diagnostics, offering structural information with a measurement that is fast, non-invasive, and scalable. It can provide physical insights into the battery development, manufacturing, and in-use management life cycle that were previously impossible. Our method enables users to directly probe physical processes affecting performance. This could be used to aid cell design and development, improve manufacturing quality and yield, and increase efficiency and safety of battery usage.
If wildly successful, we will change how batteries are made, tested, and managed everywhere.

Former baby star Jonathan Taylor Thomas reunited along with his former Residence Enchancment" castmates just lately at a photo shoot for Entertainment Weekly , Individuals stories. Tim Allen , Richard Karn , Casey Sander , and Debbe Dunning had a reunion in a tv particular named Tim Allen Presents: A User's Information to House Enchancment in 2003 (a terminally sick Earl Hindman did voice-overs, befitting his by no means-seen persona of Wilson).
To teenage me, Dwelling Enchancment represented all the things lame about mainstream" culture, and that my classmates would pick it over The Simpsons or Seinfeld only confirmed what unsophisticated rubes they have been. Hindman had fewer roles after Home Enchancment ended, with a few visitor roles on Law & Order and a part in the 2001 movie Remaining. Their reconciliation ended a protracted-working feud that erupted over Thomas' determination to go away House Improvement in its eighth season and focus on attending school, even declining to look in its series finale. It followed the Tim and his struggles raising three boys alongside his wife, buddy, and neighbor.
Hindeman additionally appeared in films like 'The Taking of Pelham One Two Three' and '3 Males and a Baby' earlier than portraying Wilson, the neighbor who delivered pearls of wisdom from behind the fence. The Shakopee Dwelling Improvement and Design Expo runs all day Saturday throughout the STAY horse races at Canterbury Park. The show is hosted by Niecy Nash and the solid also includes an inside decorator and yard sale consultants. And he even developed an open supply substitute for the Data Conversion transformation if the CAST or CONVERT choice is not doable in your supply.
Therefore, the producers set out to cast an alternate character that might stand in as Tim's co-host for the pilot, or for nonetheless many episodes were required until Tobolowsky was accessible. Sitting right here bored watching Residence Improvement and he's in a scene making soup..questioned if he is homosexual and wondered what happened to the scrawny kid so I googled and found this web site.
Seasonal Nielsen Rankings (based mostly on common complete viewers per episode) of Residence Improvement on ABC 20 The sequence finale grew to become the fifth highest-rated sequence finale television program of the Nineteen Nineties and the ninth total collection finale ever presented on a single network in television historical past, watched by 35.5 {243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} of the households sampled in America, and 21.6 {243d92d8fbab5297c3bbcb399bd2a8297b8778bf0089d5880be68ebe45bc42c3} of tv viewers.

We are very fortunate to have a Ronald McDonald House Charities right on our campus. From the front steps of the Alpha Delta Pi house to RMHC, it is approximately one mile! We take advantage of its proximity whenever we can!
The Main Event partners with Legends Gym to provide college aged students an arena to show off their boxing skills. 2016 will mark the 12th annual year of The Main Event being held at the University of Kentucky and the 9th year of Alpha Delta Pi's full-fledged support. Since 2007, Alpha Delta Pi has been helping with The Main Event in Lexington, providing an experience that will benefit the sorority's national philanthropy, the Ronald McDonald House Charities.
In the Fall of 2015, Alpha Delta Pi and Sigma Phi Epsilon joined teams to launch a campaign for sexual assault prevention on college campuses.
So, what does Live Your Oath mean? As Greek men and women on college campuses, we each took an oath to live our lives with dignity and respect for all.
Once a year, we host Live Your Oath week in an effort to raise awareness of sexual assault. Throughout that week, ADPi and SigEp host various activities around campus to get everyone involved! Some of these activities include guest speakers, restaurant nights, tabling, and giving anyone the opportunity to #LiveYourOath.
In the Spring of 2017, our chapter hosted our first ever, "Runway for the Roses" event! This philanthropic event was designed to benefit the Ronald McDonald House through a locally held fashion show. There are several unique aspects to this exciting new occasion, one of them being that the clothing and products featured are provided by some of the most popular boutiques around Lexington!
Runway for the Roses is a wonderful way to get many parts of your community to come together to support a wonderful cause.
Tristan Nolan, one of our very talented sisters who just recently opened up her own clothing boutique, was featured this past spring in the fashion show.

Hubby and I caught the #trending #relentless #UpperRespiratoryVirus
It is adding that extra special something to our holiday season, and even more significantly, to our lives and marriage.
Keep in mind that we moved 3 weeks ago. According to this article, moving into a new house ranks #3 on the top 10 list of life events that cause the most stress. I feel like my dear husband and I are foraging through a battle together.
Between our sniffles and coughing episodes, it sounds like Handel's Hallelujah Chorus in here (and I am not exaggerating; last night our dog asked if we could keep it down so he could sleep).

Researchers from the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston and Tekmira Pharmaceuticals announced on Wednesday the development of an effective treatment against lethal Marburg virus in nonhuman primates.
The researchers found that the treatment completely protected nonhuman primates against the MARV-Angola strain of Marburg virus, which has a mortality rate of up to 90 percent. Marburg virus is in the same family as Ebola and has a rapid disease course of seven to nine days in nonhuman primates.
There were two recent imported case of MARV hemorrhagic fever (HF) to Europe and the U.S. There are currently no drugs or vaccines approved for human use and there is no post-exposure treatment against Marburg.
"The increasingly frequent outbreaks of filoviral HF in Africa evidenced by the current rapidly spreading outbreak in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone illustrate the clear and present danger filoviruses represent to human health," Thomas Geisbert, a professor of microbiology and immunology at UTMB, said. "As such, the development of effective countermeasures against these viruses is a critical need."
Previous studies examined countermeasures against MARV infection at times before the subjects showed evidence of clinical illness. The goal of the recent study was to determine if it was possible to protect animals against infection when treatment began after animals had detectable levels of the virus in their system.
"The significance of delaying treatment until three days after infection, which is the earliest time at which diagnosis by viral RNA can be detected and those infected show the first clinical signs of disease, is that this a critical step in triggering clinical interventions," Ian MacLachlan, the executive vice president and chief technical officer at Tekmira, said.

I personally came to this frightening realization about seven years
ago that I had the dreaded golfing affliction, the yips; yipes!
It affected my putting as it does most golfers who develop this
repulsive malady. It was first noticed not too long after I quit
smoking cigarettes and I will always believe there was a causative
relationship. What I experienced was a nervousness in my lower arms
and hands that prevented me from making a smooth stroke through
the ball when putting. More often than not my stroke was more like
a stab at the ball resulting in a shove or pull of the ball off
line. This situation was only noticeable to me when I was playing
in a match, not while practicing. It was really bad on shorter putts
of five feet or less especially when the putt was necessary to halve
or win the hole.
Yips in golf is a phenomenon of sudden jerking, tremors or freezing
up when attempting to putt. Various studies by the Mayo Clinic and
others show that at least 25% of all golfers have experienced the
yips while one study of 1031 tournament playing, amateur golfers
in Minnesota showed that 43% had the yips. This was a more senior
group surveyed having averaged 30 years of playing experience, had
an average handicap of 4.5 and those affected claimed to have had
the problem for six years on average. They claimed that yipping
putts added five strokes to their rounds than when yips free. This
problem has driven golfers to seek help from almost any quarter
resulting in the influx of long putters, belly putters plus differing
group styles such as "left hand low" and the "claw
Bantam Ben Hogan and Slammin' Sammy Snead were perhaps the
most well known golfers to develop the yips. It was quite obvious
when you watched Hogan, late in his career, stand over a putt seemingly
for minutes on end unable to draw the putter back and begin his
stroke. He gave up the game because of it and probably prematurely.
Snead didn't fuss much over his yips he just learned to putt
side saddle and continued to win tournaments. Most golfers on Tour
who have made a change to a long putter or a belly putter or perhaps
have switched over to the claw grip have probably experienced some
degree of the yips. In my opinion, Tom Watson and Tom Kite have
both struggled with the yips. I've never heard them call their
putting woes by that name but it has been obvious. Neither have
tried the longer putters choosing to stay with the shorter version.
Watson seems to set up as he always did. Kite has tried different
grips. To their credit they both seem to have overcome this evil
thing. Vijay Singh has tried the long putter and then the belly
putter. We can assume that Vijay was having some sort of nerve problem
with the short putter. With the belly putter he began to drop more
putts and he started a steady climb up the list of world rankings.
Interesting enough, it wasn't until Vijay switched back to
his short putter that he achieved number one status in the world.
I have a theory on this particular break through but more on that
later in the article.
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic have concluded that there are two
basic causes of the yips. First is performance anxiety or "choking"
while the second is more physical and something called focal dystonia.
Focal dsytonia is caused by overuse of certain muscles and the nervous
system causing a deterioration and is not unlike a similar dilemma
experienced by musicians, stenographers, writers and dentists who
must assume uncomfortable postures and positioning for long periods
of time. I have difficulty accepting this claim because in all of
the latter cases a cramp or pain is usually involved plus the putter
only assumes his putting stance on 35 to 40 times in an 18 hole
round and cramping is not experienced. I can accept the fact that
perhaps a nerve deterioration might be part of it as it seems to
affect golfers age 40 or over. To me the most telling feedback from
the researchers is that those with the yips who were examined had
elevated heart beats when putting versus those in the test case
without yips. More importantly, the researchers noticed an increased
muscle activity in the "yippers", and most particularly
in the wrists. Aha, we have the clue we need! Remember the point
about excessive movement in the wrists!
My own theory of the yips based on personal experience, observation
and study is that it is performance anxiety based. It is psychological
versus physiological. For me smoking had been a way to relax during
a match or tournament round and when I threw the weeds away I began
to feel a heightened level of tension. My golfing background has
been such that I was fairly good at getting the ball in up and down
from around the green which required one putt greens. When those
one putts ceased to go in the hole my scores gradually escalated.
Making short putts is critical to success in competition. I soon
began to dread short putts. My opponents began to gasp, then snicker
when I missed a three foot putt which made the situation even worse.
I became obsessed with putting and walked around like a zombie trying
to figure it all out and I was a weekend golfer. For the professional
trying to make a living it must be devastating to suffer from the
At the worst point, my forearms seemed almost frozen. Instead of
thinking about making a smooth stroke my mind was occupied with
thoughts about what my playing partners were going to say when I
missed the next putt. I knew that I was going to miss so I concentrated
on not looking too bad. I thought, "at least get it close
knucklehead." I became obsessed, focusing on the negative
and the worst thing that could possibly happen. It was at this depth
of depression that I went shopping for a long putter.
The journey back from this hideous affliction included the long
putter which was better on short putts but terrible to judge on
long putts. The belly putter was next and it was a good compromise
and my putting improved. What I was beginning to realize is that
the long putter and the belly putter had forced me to use my shoulder
muscles more in the putting stroke and to use my hands and wrists
passively in the stroke. Occasionally while practicing I would pull
my old Bullseye short putter out of the trunk of the car and give
it a try for old times sake. I used the same stroke as with the
belly putter and it felt very comfortable and I was knocking in
every putt that I tried and from any distance. This shorter putter
was much better on long putts and medium length putts and not too
bad on the short ones. So, now, I am back putting with the Bullseye
and doing pretty well. Some days I putt as well as in the good old
days, other days not so good. Having putted so poorly with the yips,
any improvement was helping me to regain some modicum of confidence.
I began to not obsess over each and every putt and came to realize
that missing a five foot putt was not the end of the world. I began
to semi-relax.
The results of all of this are some very definite opinions about
the yips. First, the yips is initially caused by the extreme importance
a golfer places on this part of the game. It becomes a focusing
in and obsessing over the muscle movement involved in putting and
especially on the hands, wrists and forearms. It is performance
driven and definitely psychological. I believe those that tend to
get the yips are using the wrists and hands too much in their stroke.
Now remember back to the research material cited above. The researchers
at The Mayo Clinic found that golfers with the yips were experiencing
more muscle movement and most notably in the wrists. They were focused
on the small muscles of the wrists and hands and overlooking the
importance of using the bigger muscles of the shoulders in the stroke.
I also believe that putting with a longer putter, especially the
belly putter, will make you a better putter because it requires
you to use the shoulders to initiate and complete a putting stroke.
Now, I ask you to remember Vijay Singh and his experience moving
from the short putter to the long putter, then the belly putter
and back to the short putter. In so doing he became the number one
player in the world. In my opinion, the belly putter, gave Vijay
the muscle coordination and muscle memory he needed to become a
good putter.
Let me conclude by stating that I don't believe that someone
who has had the yips can completely be cured. It seems to linger
in your mind and short putts continue to be scary. But, you can
improve! Start with an attitude change. Putting is not a finesse
or precise skill as in a surgical procedure using the small muscles
of the hands and forearms but more of a mechanical action of larger
muscles, of simply taking the putter back with your shoulders and
stroking through the ball toward the target, back and through. Lastly,
don't be afraid to miss.

Emilia Clarke Responds to 'Game of Thrones' Sexism Claims
Emilia Clarke is opening up to fire back at critics who call her HBO series Game of Thrones a sexist show.
"There's so much controversy. Yet that's what's beautiful about Game of Thrones – it's depiction of women in so many different stages of development," the 29-year-old actress told Entertainment Weekly.
"There are women depicted as sexual tools, women who have zero rights, women who are queens but only to a man, and then there are women who are literally unstoppable and as powerful as you can possibly imagine," Emilia continued. "So it pains me to hear people taking Thrones out of context with anti-feminist spin – because you can't do that about this show. It shows the range that happens to women, and ultimately shows women are not only equal, but have a lot of strength."
Emilia also commented on how no one asks the male actors on the show about showing skin.
"How many times has [Daario actor Michiel Huisman] been asked about the fact he's taken his clothes off a bunch? Is that even a discussion? No," she said.

I'm looking at adding an AFF8080 with 3 x 24 x 1.6TB SSD shelves. What would be the best aggregate and spare configuration for maximum capacity to start and being able to add another 4th shelf later?
We were thinking of assigning all odd # disks to node1 and even # disks to node 2 which would be 36 disks on each node. Then we would probably add another 24 disks to that HA pair and would have another 12 disks per node (total = 48) later.
How would you configure the aggr's? how many spares would you use and what size raid groups?
mainly because I wouldn't want all my egss (drives) in one basket. Generally the larger the aggregate the longer it will take to rebuild a failed drive - it is perfectly feasable to create 1 large aggregate on each node too. SSD's tend not to fail as often as HDD so either option is fine.
Asisde form that if you use NetApp Synergy (which I did with yours) to build out your cluster, you can tell it to recommend NetApp best practice for the aggregate configuration.
2016-03-02 07:32 AM - edited 2016-03-02 07:33 AM
From my knowledge raid rebuild times are based on the size and speed of the disk, not the size of the aggregate. But I agree, split your aggregates across the two nodes. Especially if you are using it for SAN.
I'm planning on using it for mostly Fiber Channel luns, but also some CIFS shares with SMB3, and some NFS. Older best practices said to split the luns and CIFS/NFS into separate aggregates. Is this still true with AFF SSDs aggregates?
Hi Corey
There are a number of factors affecting raid rebuild times including size and speed of the drives however, the number of drives in a RAID group, raid.reconstruct.perf_impact options (setting this option to high reduces the time it take to complete a RAID reconstruction and reduces foreground I/O performance.) TR3838 and Raid rebuild times are highly dependent on the workload profile on the system.
The conventional rule that smaller raid groups would reconstruct "no slower" (and likely faster) than larger raid groups applies. Thus, it aligns with NetApp recommendation of staying close to the default value provided by ONTAP.
AS all your aggreagtes are all flash it wont make any difference where you place your NAS or SAN data, it will all benefit from the performance drives. you could have cifs volumes shared out to cifs clients and FC LUNs which reside in volumes on the same aggregate as your cifs vols with no performance impact.

It's an easy way to help keep your system running smoothly and improve your indoor air quality, and you can easily do it all yourself! Now is the best time to check your filter, as the cold season comes to an end and summer is on the horizon. There are a lot of benefits to changing out your air filter, such as: Increasing the life and efficiency of your system A definite way to instigate a system breakdown is a dirty air filter. Extra dirt that is built up on your filter can cause your whole system to work harder than it should to keep the air in your home cool. Not only will it hamper the performance of your system, but it can increase your energy costs and cause your system to overheat. Improving indoor air quality The goal of an air filter is that it grabs contaminants through your air system before it flows into your home. The older a filter gets, the less capable it is in catching things like dust and mold that can affect the health and comfort of your home, especially if someone in your family suffers from allergies or asthma. With spring near, pollen and mold are especially prone to be hanging around and you don't want them moving in your home. A quality, clean air filter will help your family breathe easy and stay healthy during allergy season. Examine your system or current air filter provider for guidance on how regularly you should be changing your filter. For most filters through Central Air Inc, we recommend an annual change with the highest MERV filter available. Not sure if it's the best time to replace your air filter? You can always ask our Portland Metro experts about filter options, timing or any other hints on staying comfortable this spring.

MHI Windows Wins Prestigious Award 4 Years Running, Working With PACE HERO Program
Anaheim, CA (PRWEB) February 02, 2017
Metropolitan High Performance Windows has announced that they have been awarded the Super Service Award from consumer website Angie's List. The award is given to service providers who exhibit an exceptional level of customer service; this marks the fourth consecutive year, which Metropolitan High Performance Los Angeles Windows has earned this prestigious recognition.

Just as important as the company's commitment to quality products is their dedication to providing the highest possible level of customer service in windows replacement in the Los Angeles area. While already well known in the area, earning an Angie's List Super Service Award is a mark of distinction in the industry, as well as providing with the company greater exposure to consumers in the area.
Consumers seem to agree with Angie's List, given the overwhelmingly positive reviews the company has received on review websites like Yelp. One customer in Huntington Beach wrote, "I had made an appointment with Gary to find out what type of windows I need, and how much it would cost to install the windows at my rental property in Huntington Beach. Gary answered every question and concern I had, he was extremely helpful with suggestions on which windows to install. And he gave me a more than fair price for a 10 window install, I thought it was going to cost a lot more. So with the extra money I had, I decided to have Metropolitan replace my old aluminum patio doors also. The workers who installed the windows and patio doors did a really good job, the windows and patio door look and work great!" Consumers may see details of their services here.
In addition to being recognized for a fourth consecutive year for excellence in customer service, Metropolitan High Performance Windows is also doing its part for the environment by working with the PACE (Properly Assessed Clean Energy) HERO Program, which helps homeowners to reduce energy and water consumption while reducing their carbon footprint and increasing the value of their homes.

One of the message boards (I believe it was Terminal Boredom) a couple of months back someone was getting bent out of shape that a couple of members of one of the greatest punk rock bands of the last decade or so were now in a bubblegum group. The punk rock band was the Catholic Boys and the bubblegum group are the Tuff Bananas. Well, those guys never denied their sweet tooth. As a matter of fact I recall hanging out with Paul at something like 3 in the morning after listening to a Buddah singles comp I have then watching some Bay City Rollers videos and half jokingly plotting how to bring a rock out and fuck with a sound like that and bring into the 21st century. Or at least I thought it was half joking...none the less the results are sugarbuzz blast.
Just in time for Halloween side one's "Candy" is a ya can't help but sing-a-long honoring of all kindsa confections with a keyboard line found at the waaay fun end of New Wave and a bit the Boys punky power pop yet situated in a place where it sounds not at all out of place no matter the decade, trend or era. There aren't many songs that you can both pull taffy or outrun the cops to but these Milwaukee excitable's not only do it but do right at the two minute mark.
The flip's "Firebug", a quick blast of love for playing with matches, and the Coasters meet the Saints on a latenight kitchen raid sound of "Refrigerator Gator" keep sweet and sticky hyperactivity way up high. If ya can't dance to this or at least crack a smile when these songs are playing ya might wanna call yr doctor because your heart has turned to stone.

Snow Days!
Happy New Year from the D Family! It has been pretty cold and snowy in our parts these days (as it has been in most of the country) and I was the lucky recipient of TWO snow days last week! Yes, you heard me correctly…I only had a three day work week last week due …
